We want the scholarships to go on forever, without touching the principal of the fund, so the investment return and the size of the fund will determine how much we can do. The Foundation may choose to give more scholarships – whatever is given out will be on the same schedule with the same deadline. The Jay Kennedy Memorial Scholarship goes to any cartoonist in his Junior or Senior year of college. They don’t have to be an art or cartooning major (many cartoonists for college papers are not art majors). I don’t recall missing e-mails from you, John, but my e-mail box is a huge, ugly thing, and most of it gets sucked into my spam filter. If you take care not to mention mortgages and Viagra it will probably get through. Or call Cagle Cartoons at (800) 696-7561.

I'd send this query to Daryl Cagle (I'd like to do a piece on it in Stay Tooned! Magazine) but two previous questions I've sent via e-mail have gone unanswered.

What kind of scholarship is it? How much money does the award winner get and for what kind of study? This is nice of them to do, but I don’t understand. What kind of scholarship is it?
